In 1916, while Britain was fighting Germany in WWI, the British Empire also faced revolution in Ireland. In her debut novel, Julia Cardinal tells the fact-based story of star-crossed lovers, Joe Plunkett and Grace Gifford, who risked their love to fight for a free Irish Republic.

An Irish Volunteer is a compelling story, well-told, and would make a great book club choice.

Julia Cardinal is a author and private investigator who works on capital murder cases. An Irish Volunteer is published by Salthill Press.

I agree, this does sound good. I enjoy books set in this time period, but haven't read too many about this particular side of it. You'd think with Irish blood running in my veins I would have. I will have to look for this one. Thank you for sharing.
